Batteries for Sharp PC-45XX Still Sold

A few weeks ago, I requested information about a battery for my Sharp PC-4502 (a portable PC from the mid to late 1980s), yet received no replies. The original batteries made for the Sharp PC-45XXs were from Yuasa, which no longer makes them. The main problem with this battery is its odd shape; other batteries have similar specifications, but will not fit inside this portable PC. Just as I was about to give up, I simply did a Yahoo search on Sharp batteries and the PC-4502 and found a source! If anyone needs a battery for these machines, go to The Raymond Sarrio Co. at http://www.sarrio.com -- and if you specifically need a battery for a Sharp PC-45XX like mine, go to this site: http://www.sarrio.com/sarrio/laptopsh2sy.html Phone: (800)413-1129 FAX: (508)355-8261 I bought the battery for only $49.00, including free 3-day air mail! (They used to cost around $75.00.) The AC adaptors are also listed alongside their batteries, in case you need one of those, too. These folks can also make a lot of batteries, if for some reason they don't have your exact make. So there *is* still hope for old machines when you least expect it.
